Final summary!

Finally, after 23 accounts we can say with proudly say that we did overcome the challenges facing us in the process of learning Web 2.0.
My favourite tools so far are youtube and worldcat, library thing.

While exploring Web 2.0, I came across this sentence: Libraries are not merely in communities, they are communities. according A 2006 poll conducted for the American Library Association
found that 92% of respondents expect libraries to be needed in the future, despite the increased availability of information via the Internet. I, too think that the future of the library is bright.

I think with new technologies come new approaches and opportunities. The only important thing is that we have to move ahead adapting all relevant and useful tools and technologies so that we can cater to the need of the people. It is not an exaggeration to say that this exercise will not only help us identify research tool but will also take the level of interactivity to a new level. For Library use, this tool can be used to conduct book discussion or to give instructions to the patrons on various topics.
I would definitely like to participate in a similar project. But next time I will make sure that I do it in a small group as that can speed the process of self-learning.

overdrive

This tool is really cool. You could download any audiobooks and listen to it at your convenience. But unfortunately I was not able to download it on my work computer because it said it did not have sufficient memory.

music on NPR: podcast

I found this piece of music on NPR and am podcasting it in my blog.

2.0 award list

My favourite : I was so excited to discover the "Build a bibliography" link under World Cat, library thing! Now I can format my every citation without any headache. I wish we had this exercise when I was formatting every citation 4 months ago!

zoho


And, I think ZOHO can be the dream tool for anyone who types a document.

I love the tool bar... there are so many choices.

I posted the following text from zoho but couldn't view in my blog!

one of my favourite blogs-
ConcidentallyI discovered one posting that offerred a free mango trees. the posting read : ... I have two mango trees in pots in my backyard. I will happily give them away to the first two Palm Beach County Library employees who email me at mangofestival@gmail.com.

Yes, there is a catch. As the years go by, and the trees grow, I will expect you to offer me a few mangos whenever your tree has a good year.http://pbclswiki.pbwiki.com/Favorite+Mangos
